Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Cupcake Stars

I really enjoyed this over-40 romance. The characters were totally relatable and completely likable. Brut and Lily were torn apart 22 years ago when he made a stupid mistake, one that had life-altering consequences. They are forced to spend time together by a pair of matchmakers (his brother, Hank, and her friend, Midge, from the previous book). A week alone at a beautiful beach house forces Lily and Brut to face the demons of their past… but is that enough for them to embark on a future together?

Once they leave the bubble of their beach vacation, there are a few outside forces working against them, and quite a bit of time passes before Lily and Brut have a conversation about where things stand between them. Complicating matters is the relationship that Lily has with Brut’s son, Chopper. And I think that’s what bugged me, as much as I loved them together and was hoping they’d make it official. She never told Brut when she had the chance, and Brut assumed Lily knew about his feelings for her, when it was all kind of murky. I didn’t want to see them playing games with one another when it came to their feelings; they are both too old for that. And I felt like they did a bit. Especially Brut. I wanted to smack him for being such an idiot!

Still, I enjoyed Restored Dreams very much. It is a charming second-chance romance that sets out to “restore” this couple’s dreams (not just the cars that Brut works on at his autobody shop!) and proves that it’s never too late to get your fairytale ending.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Author Bio

 

L.B. Dunbar loves the sweeter things in life: cookies,
Coca-Cola, and romance. Her reading journey began with a deep love of fairy
tales, medieval knights, Regency debauchery, and alpha males. She loves a deep
belly laugh and a strong hug. Occasionally, she has the energy of a Jack
Russell terrier. Accused—yes, that’s the correct word—of having an overactive
imagination, to her benefit, such an imagination works well. Author of over two
dozen novels, she’s created sweet, small town worlds; rock star mayhem; MMA
chaos; sexy rom-coms for the over 40; and intrigue on an island of redemption.
In addition, she is earning a title as the “myth and legend lady” for her
modernizations of mythology as elda lore. Her other duties in life include
mother to four children and wife to the one and only.
